I have successfully backed up an HP desktop PC running Win7 (64-bit) to 2 independent Seagate external HDDs (128GB USB 2.0 and 1TB USB 3.0) connected via this Plugable USB hub without any errors or failures. Each backup job handles more than 75GB of data. I would expect you to see similar performance with your Win7 Dell laptop.

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit with a 3.0 PCI add-on card connected to the 7 Port USB hub. I have a Seagate 2TB, 3TB and 4TB 3.0 drives attached as well as 320GB and 500GB USB 2.0 drives and have no problems. Just remember any USB 2.0 drive is still limited to 2.0 speeds. Some of the drives are network shares and still I have had no problems. The 7 Port USB Hub works great for me.

I would see no reason why not. I use mine with both usb 3 and usb 2 pc's with no issues. I use it with a 500gb 2.5 sata drive in a usb 3 enclosure as well as the same setup in a usb 2 enclosure as well as flash drives in both flavors. It has worked flawlessly with both but is noticeably faster with the usb 3 interface on the laptop. I remember there being some question whether it would power an external hard drive through the port, without an external power connection but all of my usb devices power fine through the hub. I've had no issues whatsoever with any usb device I plug it into or plug into it. I would see no reason why not. I use mine with both usb 3 and usb 2 pc's with no issues.

Generally, YUP.Specifically, If your external drive works plugged into the laptop usb 3 port, It will work plugged into the hub which is then plugged into your usb 3 port on your laptop. I have 7 - 3tb seagate externals plugged in via a plugable hub into a pci-usb3 2-port extension on an old dell laptop running win 7 home premium. The second slot on the pci has a Seagate 3 TB plugged in directly. I get no vairance in speeds or performance from either slot/device. The 4TB should work as well.

Not sure, I am running Win-7 and all is fine. I know the unit works great as I have watched countless videos off my 7 year old Dell laptop with no problems. I have upgraded the old hard drive to an SSD as you ne d the speed for files coming off the disk to the unit. With the old hard drive, it sometimes stuttered but that may have been the old CPU holding it back. I am very high tech level and know the unit works great if used properly and with decent other gear set up correctly. I no longer have any PCs running XP so I can't test it for you but it is working great here on both 7 and 8.2 machines. I highly recommend the product. If you can set up a second monitor out of you Dell, then try mirrored mode with that. If that doesn't work either, then your problem is with your laptop or Windows install. If it does work, I can't say why the convertor setup is not as mine works fine... Great picture too...

My external Seagate Backup PLus 4TB Desktop Hard Drive USB 3.0 (STCA4000100) works perfectly with KDLINKS, my hard drives are automatically formatted to NTFS.

I really am not sure. I have a Dell and I did install it as second hard drive and it works. I am not sure of model.

yeah, i bought this drive and it works perfectly with the laptop. It takes 2 of the 3 usb ports, but is great for loading software onto it.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006DUDWXI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc;=1

I know this is really late in response but I found that the 7 port hub would not work with usb 3 on my computer. I don't know if this is something to do with my computer's usb 3 chip set or if the hub is just bad. My computer is an HP Pavilion dv6. I had purchased 3 of the 7 port versions and all of them had the same result. They worked fine as a USB 2.0 hub but I really need the USB 3.0 version. Since they worked just fine with USB 2.0 I am thinking this is a chipset issue or firmware issue.

I'm sure I'm not an expert on that Dell laptop model. I used this on a Toshiba laptop, it does work, I would recommend the adapter for a device that has a draw of power other than a thumb-drive. My issue with this is that it behaves just flakey enough to be annoying, device driver compatibility coupled with insertion and removal of certain USB devices causes the device to unplug from the laptop. Something the "committee" who decided the design for the interface many years ago didn't really think through to well.

I used it on 2 of my old Toshiba Satellite laptops with NO problems. I would highly recommend it. I also used it on the hard drive of a dell desktop with no problems at all.

I'm using two USB"s, it works a lot faster that way, I'm using a Dell Latitude D620 with Windows 7 and it works great, with one it didn't work as fast.

I'm aware that the drive works with both USB cables plugged in. However, since the choice is between using up an extra usb port and a usb extension cable (my laptop has exactly two ports: one on each side, so the default cable won't reach); buying a usb hub; or finding a power adapter that will work with the unit, I would prefer to have the extra power cable run to where the drive will "permanently" sit.

Andrew, That's a generic Seagate drive but the Dell version you would need is Dell Part # W347K. Order that part # and you should be good. I hope this helps answer your question.ScottAll Computer Parts

jnwarm, if you were referring to Seagate Momentus 750GB XT, unfortunately Amazon does provide info which item I purchased in responding to. I currently I have it in my Dell Latitude E6510 and working with no issue.

Yes, I am successfully using this with all my USB 3.0 External Hard Drives 2 1/2" (Seagate's and Toshiba's) ranging from 500 GB to 1 TB. Works like a champ. I am using this on a Windows 7 Home tower computer I built (Intel platform). This unit provides enough power to run the external hard drives at USB spec 3.0.

It automatically loads it's drivers and is usable on both my Dell and HP laptops. There are USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 version ports. I've had other USB sticks that will work in one version of the port and not another. Look into that being the problem.

I installed in HP 2730p 6 months ago & it works great, faster, cooler are some of the benefits. I would have preferred higher capacity but they seem to have stopped making the larger, about double the capacity, SSD. It should work, but don't know specifically if it will work for the Dell, but I suggest that you at least partially remove the old orig hard drive to see if anything physically unusual about it such as connector adapter used or not. Other than that I don't see why it wouldn't work...also mine had Vista on it originally so I upgraded to Win 7 64 immediately, which made it very easy to set up.

I just put a 3TB Seagate drive in one of these and it worked. One of my laptops had a weird issue, but other machines did not. TDMSERVICE.EXE consumed massive amounts of RAM (3+GB) a few times before it acted normal. A different laptop of the same make/model did not have the same problem. That first laptop has issues adding hardware anyways, so I don't think it's a combination of the enclosure and drive.
